Safety instructions

General power tool safety warn-

ings

@

Warning! Read all safety

warnings and all instruc-

tions.

Failure to follow the warn-

ings and instructions listed below

may result in electric shock, re and/

or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instruc-

tions for future reference.

The term

"power tool" in all of the warnings listed below

refers to your mains operated (corded) power

tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.

1. Work area safety

a. Keep work area clean and well

lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b. Do not operate power tools in

explosive atmospheres, such

as in the presence of

ammable liquids, gases or

dust.

Power tools create sparks which

may ignite the dust or fumes.

c. Keep children and bystanders

away while operating a power

tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

2. Electrical safety

a. Power tool plugs must match

the outlet. Never modify the

plug in any way. Do not use

any adapter plugs with earthed

(grounded) power tools.

Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will

reduce risk of electric shock.

b. Avoid body contact with

earthed or grounded surfaces

such as pipes, radiators,

ranges and refrigerators.

There is

an increased risk of electric shock if your

body is earthed or grounded.

c. Do not expose power tools to

rain or wet conditions.

Water

entering a power tool will increase the risk of

electric shock.

d. Do not abuse the cord. Never

use the cord for carrying,

pulling or unplugging the

power tool. Keep cord away

from heat, oil, sharp edges or

moving parts.

Damaged or entangled

cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e. When operating a power tool

outdoors, use an extension

cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use

reduces the risk of electric shock.

f. If operating a power tool in a

damp location is unavoidable,

use a residual current device

(RCD) protected supply.

Use of an

RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

ENGLISH

(Original instructions)

3. Personal safety

a. Stay alert, watch what you are

doing and use common sense

when operating a power tool.

Do not use a power tool while

you are tired or under the

inuence of drugs, alcohol or

medication.

A moment of inattention

while operating power tools may result in

serious personal injury.

b. Use personal protective

equipment. Always wear eye

protection.

Protective equipment such

as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard

hat, or hearing protection used for

appropriate conditions will reduce personal

injuries.

c. Prevent unintentional starting.

Ensure the switch is in the

off-position before connecting

to power source and/or battery

pack, picking up or carrying

the tool.

Carrying power tools with your

nger on the switch or energising power

tools that have the switch on invites

accidents.

d. Remove any adjusting key or

wrench before turning the

power tool on.

A wrench or a key left

attached to a rotating part of the power tool

may result in personal injury.

e. Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all

times.

This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.

f. Dress properly. Do not wear

loose clothing or jewellery.

Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from moving

parts.

Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair

can be caught in moving parts.

g. If devices are provided for the

connection of dust extraction

and collection facilities, ensure

these are connected and

properly used.

Use of dust collection

can reduce dust-related hazards.

4. Power tool use and care

a. Do not force the power tool.

Use the correct power tool for

your application.

The correct power

tool will do the job better and safer at the

rate for which it was designed.

b. Do not use the power tool if

the switch does not turn it on

and off.

Any power tool that cannot be

controlled with the switch is dangerous and

must be repaired.

c. Disconnect the plug from the

power source and/or the

battery pack from the power

tool before making any

adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power

tools.

Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the power tool

accidentally.

5

ENGLISH

(Original instructions)

d. Store idle power tools out of

the reach of children and do

not allow persons unfamiliar

with the power tool or these

instructions to operate the

power tool.

Power tools are dangerous

in the hands of untrained users.

e. Maintain power tools. Check

for misalignment or binding of

moving parts, breakage of

parts and any other condition

that may affect the power tools

operation. If damaged, have

the power tool repaired before

use.

Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained power tools.

f. Keep cutting tools sharp and

clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools

with sharp cutting edges are less likely to

bind and are easier to control.

g. Use the power tool,

accessories and tool bits etc.

in accordance with these

instructions, taking into

account the working

conditions and the work to be

performed.

Use of the power tool for

operations different from those intended

could result in a hazardous situation.

5. Service

a. Have your power tool serviced

by a qualied repair person

using only identical

replacement parts.

This will ensure

that the safety of the power tool is

maintained.

Additional power tool safety

warnings

@

Warning!

Additional safety

instructions for heat guns.

Warning:

Do not use outdoors, indoor use

only.

Warning:

This appliance must be placed on

its stand when not in use.

6

ENGLISH

(Original instructions)

u

Do not look down the nozzle while the appli-

ance is switched on.

u

Do not use the appliance as a hair dryer!

The air temperature is far higher than a hair

dryer.

u

Ensure adequate ventilation during use as

toxic fumes may be produced.

u

Do not use the appliance in a damp atmos-

phere.

u

When stripping paint, ensure that the

work area is enclosed. Wear a dust mask

specically designed for protection against

lead paint dust and fumes and ensure that

persons within or entering the work area are

also protected.

u

Do not burn paint, as it could cause a re

hazard.

u

Do not allow paint to adhere to the nozzle as

it could ignite after some time.

u

Switch off the appliance and allow it to cool

before tting any accessory.

Stripping lead-based paint

u

Extreme care should be taken when

stripping paint. The peelings, residue and

vapours of paint may contain lead, which is

poisonous. Any pre-1960 building may in the

past have been painted with paint contain-

ing lead. This paint may be covered with

additional layers of paint. Once deposited on

surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result

in the ingestion of lead.

u

Exposures to even low levels of lead can

cause irreversible brain and nervous system

damage. The greatest danger of lead poi-

soning is to children and pregnant women.

u

Before starting work, it is important to

determine whether the paint to be stripped

contains lead. This can be done using a

test kit or by a professional decorator. Do

not smoke, eat or drink in a work area that

could or may be contaminated by lead. Lead

based paints should only be removed by

a professional and should not be removed

using a heat gun.

Safety of others

u

This appliance can be used by children

aged from 8 years and above and persons

with reduced physical, sensory or mental

capabilities or lack of experience and knowl-

edge if they have been given supervision or

instruction concerning use of the appliance

in a safe way and understand the hazards

involved. Children shall not play with the

appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance

shall not be made by children without super-

vision.

u

Children should be supervised to ensure

that they do not play with the appliance.
